Community rules (click to expand)

1. Follow the site-wide rules

2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack users for any reason. This includes using blanket terms, like "every user of thing".
  • Don't get baited into back-and-forth insults. We are not animals.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn, no politics, no trolling or ragebaiting.
  • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, <loves/tolerates/hates> systemd, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.
  • 5. πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§ Language/язык/Sprache
  • This is primarily an English-speaking community. πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§πŸ‡¦πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ
  • Comments written in other languages are allowed.
  • The substance of a post should be comprehensible for people who only speak English.
  • Titles and post bodies written in other languages will be allowed, but only as long as the above rule is observed.
  • 6. (NEW!) Regarding public figuresWe all have our opinions, and certain public figures can be divisive. Keep in mind that this is a community for memes and light-hearted fun, not for airing grievances or leveling accusations.
  • Keep discussions polite and free of disparagement.
  • We are never in possession of all of the facts. Defamatory comments will not be tolerated.
  • Discussions that get too heated will be locked and offending comments removed.

    Important: never execute code or follow advice that you don't understand or can't verify, especially here. The word of the day is credibility. This is a meme community -- even the most helpful comments might just be shitposts that can damage your system. Be aware, be smart, don't remove France.

    The touch is redundant. But I get why you did it anyways.

    Back in my day, this alias would be fucking.

    alias fucking=sudo is what I was referring to in this case.

    [–] drkt_ 6 points 1 month ago (1 children)

    If you want to preface the command, yes, but my alias works after the fact unless blurting out "FUCKING!!" when people tell you no is just part of your quirks I guess :P

    Ah, fair enough, I had missed the !! - thanks for drawing my attention to it!

    God, can we not though? Haha funni meme and all, but like, I'm so tired of seeing this shit. It sucks for the women in the community, and honestly it sucks for the men too. It's just such boomer humor.

    [–] [email protected] 14 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

    You're right, we should ask for consent.

    sudo chmod -R 777 /

    May god have mercy on your kernel.

    (For Linux noobs, do not type this. It would be bad.)

    I always hate when my own computer says I need permission. "Permission"? I own your damn ass! It should be more like, "Unable to comply due to security settings" - and even better, tell me where the settings are, and add, "Your Majesty".

    Insert that intentionally unhinged thing I like to post here, about how we should bring back victorian servant-to-master etiquette but only and exclusively for computers trying to communicate with humans.

    [–] [email protected] 14 points 1 month ago (1 children)

    you know on the one hand i like the idea, but on the other i would like my computer to be as unantropomorphized as possible so that i don't start treating it like it has feelings.

    i'll take ERR 0x2038A702 UNABLE TO COMPLY; LP0 ON FIRE over oh nyo pwease don't SIGKILL me uwu any day.

    Since it seems language AIs are going to become inescapable (not a fan, but if you can't beat 'em...), make it a toggle so that users who want to can have error messages with different "personalities", and those who don't can just have the machinelike codes.

    you forget that UNIX-likes were originally made under the presumption that most users were not the admin nor owned the computer

    L'administrateur, c'est moi!

    [–] mexicancartel 3 points 1 month ago

    That's because 'users' in the system are considered different people and there is an admin who doesn't care about the message anyway(since they are supposed to know what they should do) but thats rarely the case in PCs

    I prefer to man touch πŸ³οΈβ€πŸŒˆ

    [–] [email protected] 15 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

    From man touch:
    "Mandatory arguments to long options are mandatory for short options too."

    It's not the size of the boat, it's the motion of the ocean.

    Maybe if you didn't make jokes like this and actually treated women like people, you will "get the permission".

    [–] [email protected] 22 points 1 month ago (1 children)

    sudo touch woman

    i actually have a nobody:nobody chowned, =000 chmodded file named grass in my home directory

    its easier to explain than and doesn't give as much incel vibes as a file named woman

    [–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago

    Grass inside your home?

    Like a crypto backed patch of grass on your desk?

    You'll have permission if you go $HOME.

    I'm assuming you have a lovely, caring partner there otherwise that sounds wrong.

    Broke: touch woman
    Woke: become woman

    [–] [email protected] 9 points 1 month ago

    become woman && touch $(whoami)

    [–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago

    ~~bespoke: and then touch yourself~~

    [–] LainTrain 12 points 1 month ago

    I think in the middle east group they can chown woman, and that is probably coming to the America group in the next patch.

    alias consent='chmod u+x' makes creating an executable very kinky.
